At Home in the WorldStudents at Hope have more than 200 options in 60 countries to broaden their world experience and walk in the shoes of others.

Study Abroad

Consider service-learning as well as academically-focused opportunities around the world.

Our world is a global community, and Hope intends that you be prepared for it. No classroom experience alone can give you the benefit of traveling and living in another culture. Most students say they see with new eyes after participating in such opportunities.

Semester and yearlong opportunities for off-campus study are available in virtually every part of the globe. May and June terms and summer school programs offer short term options.

Hope College exercises direct or indirect academic and administrative control over these programs. Once enrolled, students in these official programs continue to receive administrative support and will be regarded as regular Hope College students in all respects. They are entitled to retain financial aid and to have grades and credit earned recorded on their Hope College transcript.

Once you return from your study abroad experience, special programs at Hope help you re-enter college life and incorporate your experience into your future plans.
